Genuinely July

July 8th

Games on a Train. 

Spot the rogue peanut nestled amongst my jelly beans?

July 9^th

This is summer isn't it? Not just me having a hot flush. My fellow passengers may think I am experiencing the menopause as I angrily stamped around the bus, opening all the windows whilst ‘tutt’ing & eye-balling everyone into fresh-air-reluctance-related shame.

July 10^th

Tupperware - I adore you, my lunches on the move would be somewhat dull in your absence, however I am loosing patience. Please just find your own lids.

July 12^th

Dearest Darling Commuters, welcome to summer! PLEASE STOP CLOSING WINDOWS! Thank you

July 13^th

A sequel for Samuel L Jackson - 'Stains on a Train'? I am currently sat on the perfect set for it.

July 16^th

Treats on a train.

July 17^th

Even the banana on this bus is feeling the heat, he has made a swift exit, discarding his coat on the floor.

July 18^th

I'm the only ginger on the bus yet I manage to sit in the seat with the most sun. Error. Magnified error. I now understand the persecution of an ant.

Later on July 18^th

When they said 'don't leave a dog in a car in this hot weather', they should have also advised us not to leave a ginger on a bus!

Minutes later...

If you don't hear from me, it is because I have evaporated.

July 19^th

On a bus with Air Con. Best extra 50 pence ever spent.

July 20th

Games on a Train. There's that pesky peanut.

July 22nd

Just walked past a class of school children accompanied by a rather stressed teacher saying, 'If you can't walk together then you won't walk at all.' Not sure if she was threatening them with a potential knee-capping or with the possibility of completing their journey by bus. Both events carry traumatic consequences. 

July 25^th

One out of four windows open on the bus. I have to be satisfied with winning the battle & plan better tactics for winning the window war.

A few minutes later on July 25^th

The arrival of a sweaty passenger just forced a disgruntled pensioner to embrace the fresh air & open window number two. Boom!

July 26^th

Just heard a young person catching up with another, on the bus. He asked if she was 'still courting'. I imagine this phrase has the same meaning as it did in my youth? Extremely polite and very sweet.

July 30^th

Palm tree by the Trolley Point at the Train Station. How very seasonal.

Return journey on July 30^th

Never thought I'd find myself admiring a roof tile. Stopping at Dronfield Train Station momentarily has awarded me that pleasure. Nice patterns.

July 31st

Still not sure how the peanut infiltrated my Jelly Beans.
